Abstract

A network device receives signals transmitted via a network and generates trigger messages. The network device transmits the trigger messages to an intelligent network platform that performs a network control function. The network device and the intelligent network platform both include redundant systems to provide increased reliability and rerouting capabilities in case one or more of the components experiences problems or a failure.
